Dog needed near Whitney

[cstrey18]

My brother shot a buck last night right before dark. Couldn't find any blood last night so he came back this morning and followed blood for about 200 yards and couldn't find any more. He said the shot was high behind the shoulder and looked like lung in some of the blood so he got at least one lung. I know it's been a while so don't know if it's worth it, just wanted to do everything we can before giving up. We think it's dead but the weeds are so thick you can't see more than 5-10 feet. If you think you can help or know someone who can around lake Whitney let me know. Thanks

He's still alive. Checked the camera and he came back this morning

I guess the arrow went between the lungs and spine

He will survive unless an infection gets him. Cool to get a picture that quick though

Good news. Not much on the rack but what a brutus of a body. Hopefully he will afford another chance.

Dang, that's a big old deer. And a tough one. Hard to believe he took that wound last night and he's back eating like nothing happened.

I couldn't believe it either. We looked almost all day then checked the camera and there he was. I was out there walking through a field of cockleburs for nothing

I highly doubt that is between the lungs and spine!! There is no space between the lungs and spine! More likely right thru the backstrap.

Hope y’all get another crack at him!!!!

YEP--there is no "void" above lungs/beneath spine in a normal healthy deer. If there is, it is a sick deer. Next time you field dress one, look at how the ribs come off the sides of the vertebrae, arch up a bit, and then curve down to the breastbone---lungs actually go up a bit higher than the lowest part of the vertebrae.

Did you find the arrow? Was it a pass thru ?

My brother found it near where he shot when he went to check the camera. When I saw it I thought the deer might still be alive. It just had some meat and dark blood on it.
